Thanks for the vid. Side note, make sure to use brakeleen and towel to clean oil off of new rotors. As noted, silicone paste the pins for smooth travel and boot life, not anti seize. Make sure brake fluid level is not very full when sqeezing calipers in as it pushes fluid back through, or open bleeder with tube attatched to remove old used heated fluid near caliper.
Yea, great clear video, had the MOT Centre replace the brakes 2yrs ago which cost me a small fortune. I've got all the tools to the job myself next time, no excuse not to. Cheers, George in (UK).
Thanks for the help brother!! I appreciate the video. This really helped me out. Took me a minute because I wasn't use to it but saved me quite a bit of money. 😁
Nice job here. Really informative. I have 2006 Lancer also. Do you have full maintenance manual for Mitsubishi Lancer? or Do you know where can I find the maintenance manual?
Thanks! I've since took them out and placed silicone gel instead..sometimes when recording you're too focused on filming then the right tools. But thanks for bringing this up.
Hi Can you please tell me where you can download the guideline or manual for changing the 2003 lancer brake pads? I did not find it from Mitsubishi motors website after signing in. All there is is warranty manual and maintenance manual that does not cover what I need. Thanks!
Got them on ebay, but that seller/store doesn't seem to be there anymore. Here's another ebay listing i found. Hope this helps. www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Brake-Rotors-Ceramic-Pads-For-2002-2003-2004-2005-2007-Mitsubishi-Lancer-/401238618564?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
Use a C-clamp. Put the old brake pad on the piston. Then use the C-clamp to squeeze/push the caliper piston back in. Then you should be able to slide the caliper back on with the new brake pads. Good luck.
Hello i have a 2004 Mitsubishi galant es 2.4 the size of the bolt to remove the rotor is M8-1.25 X30mm You will need it Get them at lowe,s home improvement..they come in a white bag of 2. About 1.40...or just take 1 bolt out from the timing belt cover take it to parts store or home depot match it up and make sure you spray some pb blaster around the hub and old rotor that's all you will need to remove rusted rotors
No, the 2003 was the previous generation for Lancer but it shares the same concept. I made this video because I couldn't find someone with a 2004-2006 video so hope this helpful but watched other videos before doing mine.
Those discs are rotational/ handed and you have them on the wrong sides. The holes and groves should angle the other way so that they clear dust properly.
great video, that car has lots of rust, one thing I noticed, you say use 18 mm and 15 mm sockets when they are 17mm and 14mm and yes your socket looks sloppy on your bolts

"what chrisfix does" hahaha, love it! I just came from his brakes video just looking to see how my brakes were gonna be, thanks for your video.

Cool video. I have to change my sister's brakes and rotors this weekend. This helped a great deal.
Glad it helped
Great video!! My brakes are bad and I don’t trust mechanics around the city. This video is helpful af!!
Thanks for the video, my first time going under my car, and definitely struggled to put it right, but found this video so thanks again
Nice job here. Really informative. I have 2006 Lancer also. Do you have full maintenance manual for Mitsubishi Lancer? or Do you know where can I find the maintenance manual?
You should NOT put anti seize on the guide pins it will break down the rubber. Use silicone gel instead.
i wish i could like this comment more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I've since took them out and placed silicone gel instead..sometimes when recording you're too focused on filming then the right tools. But thanks for bringing this up.
Any rubber safe grease will be fine for the slides, red grease aka jenolite is the most commonly found.
Bravo very good work! The manual to brake how to find this?? Please
I found it online, it's called 2004-2006 Lancer FSM, or 2004-2006 Lancer Service Manual Data
Is it me or did you not reach your desired torque for either of the caliper bracket mounting bolts? 8:20
Sure hope I did, but this torque wrench makes a slight tick only which you can hear I hope over chatter in the background.
Hi Can you please tell me where you can download the guideline or manual for changing the 2003 lancer brake pads? I did not find it from Mitsubishi motors website after signing in. All there is is warranty manual and maintenance manual that does not cover what I need. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the nice video. How did you find the manual? I have the Wagon. We share a lot of parts.
At the time online, let me know if any questions. Lancer 2004-2006 are the same generation with Lancers
@@USMCDragonGunner do you know the torque for the rear?
@@Yolooooo561 Hi, if you're talking about rear disc brakes, then should be 45lb/60pNm.
I just done mine today and the socket size was 17mm for caliper bracket and 14mm for caliper
Bro where did u get the slotted rotors ? Been looking in ebay.

Please help I can't get the caliper back in. Not enough room. How do I open the caliper up?
Use a C-clamp. Put the old brake pad on the piston. Then use the C-clamp to squeeze/push the caliper piston back in. Then you should be able to slide the caliper back on with the new brake pads. Good luck.
Do have a link for the repair manual?
where did you get the torque specs from?? is it downloadable??
Hello i have a 2004 Mitsubishi galant es 2.4 the size of the bolt
to remove the rotor is M8-1.25 X30mm You will need it Get them at lowe,s home
improvement..they come in a white bag of 2. About 1.40...or just take 1 bolt
out from the timing belt cover take it to parts store or home depot
match it up and make sure you spray some pb blaster around the hub and
old rotor that's all you will need to remove rusted rotors
then why not just borrow it from the timing cover to take the rotor off then put it back?
awesome video probably the most informative and helpful video much appreciated!
Thanks!
Great video, is this a 1.6L? And can you give us the service manual, I can’t find it online.
It's the 2.0L
That is great video. Helped me a lot. Thanks.
Do you need thread locker on the caliper slide pins ?
No. Silicone paste
What Oreo said...use silicone paste
Excellent Video. Thank you
would this be the same on a 2003 es?
No, the 2003 was the previous generation for Lancer but it shares the same concept. I made this video because I couldn't find someone with a 2004-2006 video so hope this helpful but watched other videos before doing mine.

The holes and groves should angle the other way so that they clear dust properly.
These are non-directional rotors. See my description for additional details.
Thanks man doing this job Tommrrow
thanks! I use on my car! Lancer 2006
great video, that car has lots of rust, one thing I noticed, you say use 18 mm and 15 mm sockets when they are 17mm and 14mm and yes your socket looks sloppy on your bolts
Good eye, it is 17mm and 14mm. I will mention this in my next video.
Americans don't do metric
Nice job sir, just to ask, why didn't you steel brush the rusted parts?,is it okay, to put paint on these rusted parts?
Nice
Nice work!!
Cheers mate
Use grease on pins not anti seize!!!
Many thanks :-)
